Products classified under HTS 8465.91.00.27
Precision Crystal Puller Saw
Combined crystal pulling and initial sawing station for monocrystalline semiconductor production. HTS 8465.91.00.27 for sawmill machines in growth-to-slice workflow.
Czochralski Crystal Puller
A Czochralski crystal puller is used to produce extremely pure monocrystalline semiconductor boules, such as silicon, from which wafers are sliced for semiconductor manufacturing. It falls under HTS 8465.91.00.27 as specialized sawmill machines adapted for precise sawing in wafer preparation from crystal boules in semiconductor processing. This equipment aligns with statistical notes for wafer manufacturing equipment including crystal growers and pullers.
Float Zone Crystal Grower
Float zone crystal growers produce monocrystalline semiconductor boules using the float zone method for high-purity silicon wafers. Classified under HTS 8465.91.00.27 for sawmill machines in woodworking/semiconductor contexts, as it supports boule preparation prior to wafer slicing saws. Matches statistical note (a)(i) for crystal growers in wafer manufacturing.
Semiconductor Wafer Slicing Saw
High-precision wafer slicing saws cut monocrystalline semiconductor boules into thin wafers for device fabrication. Under HTS 8465.91.00.27 as sawmill machines for semiconductor wafer preparation per statistical note (a)(ii)(B). Essential for slicing silicon or gallium arsenide boules in cleanroom environments.
Crystal Boule Slicing Machine
